The lake was a big disappointment appeared to be more like a pond and a lake campground nicely spaced for RV. Nice walking areas.
Stayed in a pull through at 32 N. well accommodating 37 foot RV
Asphalt walking path around the lake

Love the tent camping area. Peaceful and quiet but we tend to check in after the weekend peak times. Weather was a bit challenging first day and lake does not look good due to this yearβs drought but you canβt control Mother Nature. Park is always clean with easy access.

Womenβs bathroom smelled very bad the whole 4 days we were there and the shower did not work by the tent sights. Other than that, the camping was good.

Very nice wooded park. We had a great time. We hiked the paved trail around the lake on Saturday. Coldspring has some restaurants right down the road if you don't feel like cooking at the campsite. Our site didn't have a sewer connection so on Sunday on the way out we drove to a pull through site where there was no one and dumped our sewer there.

Great mountain bike trails. Showers out of order at one bath house in the electric area. Bathrooms were kept clean. No hand soap in bathrooms (bring your own).

Had a reservation, but there appears to be a lot of first come, first served sites. Cash only, honor system. We had full hook up on a pull through site.. bath house is clean and well maintained as is the rest of the campground. Fishing, Bike, and hiking trails run throughout the campgroung and National forest. This is our second stay. Will definitely stay again when we come this way.

This was a beautiful place to stay for the weekend. The facilities and walking trails were excellent and well maintained. One note - when we visited the weekend of October 21, the lake was pretty far down, so not particularly good for fishing or scenic views.

I booked into my favorite lakeside site, but on arrival the lake was way down and my site was no longer "on the water". There was a better site a little further down, and the camp host helped me get booked into the better site. When I got moved he discovered the water tap wasn't working and was out there fixing it before I ever realized there was a problem.
This is my favorite local campground, I come here a lot; being retired, I come during the week. It's always quiet and serene and shady, although I heard over the weekend they were inundated with Cub Scouts! The camp host is ALWAYS around and ready to help. The Core of Engineers does a much better job of managing their campgrounds than the Texas state park folks do.

Itβs a campsite. Has a tent pad, a fire circle, and a hanger for trash. Nice and semi-secluded.
